Phonetics
 Phonetics, the study of speech sounds and their physiological production and acoustic
qualities. It deals with the configurations of the vocal tract used to produce speech
sounds (articulatory phonetics), the acoustic properties of speech sounds (acoustic
phonetics), and the manner of combining sounds so as to make syllables, words, and
sentences (linguistic phonetics).
Phonetics: Vowels, IPA
Vowel
A speech sound which is produced by comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract,
with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction, and which is a unit of the
sound system of a language that forms the nucleus of a syllable, intonation stress.

Phonetics: Diphthongs, IPA
Diphthong
also known as a gliding vowel, is a combination of two adjacent vowel
sounds within the same syllable. Technically, a diphthong is a vowel
with two different targets: that is, the tongue (and/or other parts of
 diphthong the speech apparatus) moves during the pronunciation of the vowel. In
 most varieties of English, the phrase no, highway, cowboys
/ˈdɪfθɒŋ/
/noʊ ˈhaɪweɪ ˈkaʊbɔɪz/ has five distinct diphthongs, one in
every syllable.

Consonants

 A consonant is a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of


the vocal tract. Examples are [p], pronounced with the lips; [t], pronounced with the
front of the tongue; [k], pronounced with the back of the tongue; [h], pronounced in
the throat; [f] and [s], pronounced by forcing air through a narrow channel (fricatives);
and [m] a
